An Espresso Martini is a classic coffee-based cocktail that is typically made with vodka, espresso, and coffee liqueur. Our version uses vegan cream instead of coffee liqueur, resulting in a rich and creamy drink that is perfect for any occasion.
The Espresso Martini was first created in the 1980s by Dick Bradsell, a bartender at the Soho Brasserie in London. Bradsell was inspired to create the drink after a customer asked him for something to "wake me up and fuck me up." The Espresso Martini quickly became a popular drink among celebrities and fashionistas, and it has remained a popular choice ever since. Our version of the Espresso Martini uses vegan cream instead of coffee liqueur, resulting in a rich and creamy drink that is perfect for any occasion.
